(from IMSA Press
Release) Until recently, the German tuning company IMSA
was not more than just an insider tip. But by now, it has achieved
the ultimate breakthrough thanks to its first product, the Gallardo
GTV. After all, the company from Brüggen treated the Gallardo’s
power unit like nobody dared before. After this special treatment,
the V10 power unit develops maximum output of 610 hp at 7900 rpm. In
the near future, it will also be possible to experience this
pleasure in an open car – since all GTV parts are now available for
the Spyder as well.

Special emphasis was
made on road capability.

In spite of the
increased engine power and the high torque of 655 Nm at 5300 rpm,
IMSA wanted the Gallardo to be suitable for everyday use; it had to
offer the best possible driving fun even under bad weather
conditions. Therefore, the four-wheel drive – amongst other things –
was adjusted to the new
performance. Even during extreme driving manoeuvres, the Gallardo’s
ne-tuned sport chassis offers great stability and driving control.

The necessary grip is
provided by broad 245/30 ZR 20 front and 325/25 ZR20 rear tyres.
IMSA’s focus was on muscular design and, thus, the Gallardo Spyder
is equipped with new front and rear aprons and flared wheelarches as
well as distinctive spoke wheels with central locking and a discreet
rear spoiler. The interior is designed to meet any customer’s
individual wishes: leather, alcantara, aluminium and CFRP are on
offer to refine the Gallardo’s cockpit.
